Tomato Bread Salad for One: Toss the Bread in at the Very End

Before cooking for one

Cooking just for yourself? Start with these amounts from the recipe's one-serving column. Check the full ingredient list below for the remaining ingredients and seasonings.

• Bread: 1 slice
• Tomato: 1 medium tomato
• Cucumber: 0.25 medium cucumber

Follow the recipe's preparation and cooking steps after measuring; package size is not the amount to use.

Cutting the bread into 2 cm pieces makes it easy to turn in the pan. Move it around over low heat in an ungreased pan so one side does not burn. Cut the tomato into 2 cm pieces and the cucumber into slices 1 cm thick, making them a size that fits on a spoon. Shake off the water after washing the vegetables, then cut them.

Ingredients for 1 serving

• Bread: 1 slice
• Tomato: 1 medium tomato
• Cucumber: 1/4 medium cucumber
• Olive oil: 1/2 household eating spoon
• Rice vinegar: 1/2 household eating spoon
• Salt: 1 pinch

The ingredients are listed based on the recipe table for 1 serving in the app. A household eating spoon and a pinch are everyday measures; they have not been converted to exact grams or milliliters. Check the package size and cup capacity in parentheses, too.

Directions

• Step 1. Cut the bread into 2 cm pieces. Toast in an ungreased pan over low heat, turning the pieces, for 3–4 minutes until crisp on the outside.
• Step 2. Wash the tomato and cucumber. Remove the tomato stem and cut it into 2 cm pieces. Halve the cucumber lengthwise and cut it into slices 1 cm thick.
• Step 3. Mix the olive oil, rice vinegar, and salt, then add the vegetables and bread. Toss gently and eat right away.

Why does it change if you toss it ahead of time?

When tomato juices and dressing touch the bread, its crisp surface gradually softens. Adding more salt will not solve this. If you will be eating later, keep the toasted bread, vegetables, and dressing separate, then combine them at the last moment. When tossing, lift the ingredients from the bottom rather than pressing down on the bread.

A way to share a slice of bread

Unlike topping toast with vegetables, this dish combines the bread and vegetables in one bowl. If a lot of dressing collects at the bottom of the plate, do not leave the bread soaking in it; serve only as much as you will eat at a time. Measure equal amounts of olive oil and rice vinegar, and measure the salt separately.
